Does any one know what is used by Yamaha or can you suggest something to coat this chamber to give the metal a little...

In preparing to rebuild the water pump, I have removed the water pump housing, impeller, Outer plate that sits under the impeller and the gasket, right down to the oil seal housing. There were a lot of white crystals nearly clogging the water channel of the oil seal housing. I can not tell if there ...

I am about to conduct the rebuild of one of my 9.9 lower end units This unit has had water leaking into the oil chamber and consequently water and then beige colored oil draining out when I change the oil from the lower unit. So I would like to replace all the seals. I have reviewed the manuals that...

Well thanks to the advice of fellow pdqers I now have another lower end as a spare. The lower end unit did not come off in the first whack. As a matter off face it healed on until the castings were about an inch apart. There was a lot of sand and dirt packed around the water pump housing and this se...

I recently replaced my cocpit cusions. I used the same type of 2" closed cell foam and even the same type of mesh fabric. They are just as hard and uncomfortable to sit on as the originals. I use this material because it will not absorb the water.It was not a cheep job to have them made.We very...

I don't know the details of the 36' but on the 32 the engin wells are very small. A T9.9 that I looked at in the usa would not fit i...

My Shrouds on Magic Time are 10 mm. The Rigg is the "Tall Rig" I was looking for Shroud covers that the ID would be a little larger than the OD of the wire size ( in my case 10 mm) I felt that if the cove could rotate as the battens slid across it, this should protect the sail from chafing...

Has any one added or considered adding a Gennakers / Staysails with furling, rigged from halyard.

Don't know if the forward aluminium beam coul...

Contact Ron, he has the dimentions for most of the sails including Spinakers.

Would anyone be able to tell me who built the Storage Cabinets / Lockers for the PDQ's when the company was in Whitby. Or a recommendation of a cabinet maker in the GTA.(Toronto).
